About The Artist:

I have been painting in watercolour now for
about twenty years. Most of what I have learned
has been through observation and tuition at
workshops, and through art clubs. I live now in
St.Johns Village, not far from the Basingstoke
canal, which in itself is an inspiration, offering
up endless subjects changing throughout the year.

This gallery is a showcase of some of my
watercolour paintings. For a full set see my
website. Some of them are recent, and some are not
so, but just retained because I like them. Some of
them were sold long ago, others are still
available. Waterways are a constant favourite,
either local or from my travels. There is nothing
quite like watercolour for depicting water.
However, the gallery does show quite a mix of
subjects, and as you can see, elephants have
fascinated me for some time.

Watercolour is my chosen medium. It can be
infuriating, but rewarding when successful. I have
come a long way with it, but there is always more
to do, so am unlikely to change to another medium.
Occasionally I add some ink for a particular
effect, otherwise I depend on the purity of
watercolour.

Painting is for me a pleasure, and exhibiting is
part of the experience. I usually exhibit locally
four or five times a year, with regular venues in
Guildford and Pirbright.

Sales enquiries are are gladly received. I don't
as yet produce prints, maybe I will one day, but
so far have only sold originals. I have sent
pictures all over the globe, and can go into
detail if you want to enquire about any particular
painting. At the time of writing this, the
paintings which I have sold are widely distributed
not only across the UK, but also hang in
collections in France, Eire, Spain, Italy, Greece,
Holland, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
